Picked up a new toy!

BMW M ROADSTER

It's like a lazyboy strapped to a gocart. I don't have many picks since I drove over 1000 miles to get her. I've got a sunburn and a smile on my face though.

Fun car to drive. My buddy used to have the M coupe version. That thing was exactly like you said...a go-cart!

When it comes to roadsters only a shelby cobra, Viper, and perhaps some vetts id say have more testicular fortitude, It's no Miata :beer:

Always been a fan of the coupes. Nice ride regardless. What color did you get any plans for it?

Damn...tough crowd.

I have a guy at work that busts my balls all the time because my black on black terminator is a vert.

He says verts are for girls...I reminded him that if I offered to give him my car, he'd jump at the chance to own my "girl's car". lol

At any rate..if the car is fun to drive, screw what these guys think of it, enjoy it! :beer:

Whelp someone just paid me more for the Lightning than I paid Ford new in 04, and is wanting the stock parts back on. looks like she's going and i'm going to have a few mods for the vultures. :sad:
Got to demod her in the next two days.
Thanks for the complements and "constructive criticizing" it's a weird feeling losing your baby but for the price... I couldn't resist.

My stepdad has the exact same car. He's got a silver 01 with about 18k miles on it. Supersprint exhaust, intake, tune and HRE wheels. Very fun little cars.

Where'd you buy it?

Very cool your stepdad has one, and modded as well. :up:
Found it in Dallas where someone had it posted online. Amazingly it still has all its original papers, car cover, tonneau, ect. It just needs another set of keys. I don't have any mod plans except adeding sirius an mabye navigation.
I'll miss the lightning badly, but it just has caused a ton of family drama and had to go even with as much as I hate saying goodbye to her. At least the rest of my fleet is still Fords. :rockon:
Man that thing is cute!

You cannot believe how many good looking women have told me the same thing or its pretty/beautiful/hot. Ladies notice this car and start conversations with you and most have BMW's of their own. It's like a bass boat that attracts fish. :beer:
